B. Direct to Wholesalers / Cold Storage Buyers	Approach cold storage operators or wholesale dealers directly	Better rate, no middleman
C. Online / Digital Platforms	Sell through agri-market apps or portals	Reach more buyers and possibly higher prices

4. Tips to Get Better Prices

Grade your potatoes — separate small, medium, and large sizes.

Clean and sort before sale; buyers prefer uniform size.

Use nearby cold storage if the price is low currently — wait for off-season rates.

Contact chips or snack manufacturers (like Haldiram’s or local factories) — they pay higher for chip-grade.

Use farmer-producer groups (FPOs) for collective bargaining and bulk sales.

5. Documents Needed (for eNAM / AgriBazaar registration)

Aadhaar card

Bank account details

Land ownership or produce proof (optional for some portals)

PAN card (for large transactions)
